The facility will deliver the Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS) XFEL in combination with a high energy long pulse (HE-LP) laser system and a rep-rated laser built by two other DOE labs, the Laser Lab for Energetics (LLE) and Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) respectively to experiment target chambers. The control system design for this facility will utilize EPICS throughout the SLAC, LLE and LLNL major subsystems, and to the extent possible a common hardware and software suite. The effort is a major undertaking in control system design and build via collaboration between the three partner labs of the project. This talk will review the control system architecture concept for MECU, from industrial controls to high-level automation within the context of the concept of operations, as well as status of the project.
